| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the effect of carnosic acid from rosemary leaves on cancer induced by psychological stress was examined using ovarian cancer cells. Carnosic acid suppressed cell growth and VEGF mRNA and protein expressions induced by norepinephrin. These results suggest that carnosic acid may be useful for cancer treatment through inhibition of angiogenesis that is important target of cancer induced by psychological stress.
